ALWAYS a bad idea to ignore gross violations to the laws of the land, even if done by the guy before you...ignore at your own peril. THIS CIA scandal is all the making and doing of the BFEE...sadly their shit is so foul...that even all these years later, it is coming up through the trap out back AND making a BIG STINK for everyone to notice!

I HOPE the POTUS is learning a lesson from all this - DON'T IGNORE criminal acts by the former WH, they might comeback to haunt you! I WON'T accept the CIA being above the law...and neither should Congress or the POTUS imo.
